If the bars were thicker it would look Saleen-ish. I personally like the FX4 grill so the stocker gets my vote. It sort of looks like a foreign car eating grill now with that huge simple opening. Cool to see one though.

I think a polished/chrome finish would look better with your color and also go along with the chrome headlights and step bars. Unless you plan on going with the smoked out look by chaning your headlights and tail lights with the Raptor/Harley lights?

I had the black billet grille on my 04 and it did look like a big empty hole in the front, so I put the Ford emblem back on with 3M sticky tape. Something you could consider?

I like the grill. It's the best aftermarket one I've seen yet. They all look a bit blank without the blue oval. I really would like to see the addition of some off road lights to the grill as well. There's a lot of room in there. Nice job.

I don't like the chrome OEM grilles, but I'm digging the all black FX4 ones.

I agree with sandydiego, it looks a bit empty. To big and square. Throw some PIAAs or something behind the grille

It looks good, but I would miss the Blue Oval too much.

Hmmmm.....I wonder how that would look on my black FX4. I told myself I was going to save my money and not mod this truck.

Nice work...not really a fan of the "larger opening" look though. I think your stock grill looked good! How about mounting a big blue oval in the middle?
